Afrojuju musician, Sir Shina Peters has reacted to claims that he refused to raise Damilare, a son he allegedly had with Funmi Martins, late Nollywood actress an television presenter, who died as a nursing mother in 2002.
Peters who was recently ordained a Bishop of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, was alleged to have abandoned the 19-year-old who has since lived with his late mum’s younger brother.
Addressed the allegations, Peters said he never said he won’t take care of his alleged love child with Martins.
“I am no longer a kid. How can someone like me abandon a child? What would it cost me? I have lost count of how many kids I have raised in my life. I love children a lot, why will I refuse to take care of Damilare?” the 62-year-old asked.
